This was how I liked my hair the best (it's dirty in this picture, but the general style). I can't decide if I want to go this short again right off the bat, though...
2 of the Red Cars, 500 and 501 are replicas built to the original plans of the 1909 version and the 3rd car 1058 a 1000-class is a fully restored 1907-vintage Pacific Electric car.
Down San Pedro way is the Pacific Electric Railway Trolley cars aka BIG Red Cars which operate on the Port of Los Angeles Waterfront Red Car Line that is 1.5 mile long. The trolley line connecting points are the San Pedros World Cruise Center , Fanfare at San Pedro Gateway , Ports O' Call, 6th Street and the LA Maritime Museum, Fisherman's Wharf and 22nd Street Landing, and a few other attractions along the waterfront. The line is using a former Pacific Electric right-of- way, with traditional 600-volt DC overhead trolley wire.
Adapted from Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook, sweet peanut butter dough is layered with tangy crabapple jam!
Makes 12
1 ½ cups oat flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tbsp ground chia seeds
¼ cup flaked almonds
½ cup softened, salted butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
6 oz jam (your favourite flavour)
Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease a 9” pan. Line pan with parchment, allowing the parchment to hang over the edges.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, chia and almonds. Set aside.
Cream together the butter, sugars and peanut butter until smooth.
Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
Slowly beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
Press 2/3 of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Spread jam evenly over dough, then drop the remaining dough over the jam.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, until golden brown. The edges will be firm and the center should be just set.
Remove bars from oven and cool to room temperature before removing from the pan and slicing.
Back in the days when this house was built the folks who lived there would’ve been miles from any form of store and their nearest neighbor would have been over a mile away. No one lives there now.
Cupcake Muscato's, that is.. Nice an' cold, just the way I like 'em.. Very refreshing. Sweet, light, with hint of fruitiness. The perfect way to end a day, and I hope to do exactly that on our weekend at the beach house that Jo Ann won in a raffle.
Going to the beach has sure changed for us.. Time was, a bottle of Boone's Farm and half a tank of gas in the VW was all we needed to get that party started - and we did.. And before I met Jo Ann, we did it without the Boone's Farm - or the VW.. We would just hitchhike down there and back without a place to stay, food, water, or a plan.. Spent a few nights sleeping in the dunes, but I wouldn't recommend it..
Now, it's a Herculean feat of logistics to plan and execute a weekend at the beach.. Meal planning, equipment, supplies, transportation decisions, linens, etc., etc., etc.... It's as bad as taking babies to the beach! The only thing missing is the playpen, and we might have to bing one of those too - "just in case!"

1837 Main Street.
This old service station has been restored to look like it did years ago.
Built in 1930 and closed in 1956.
#BackInTheDay CLHS was evacuated due to a rapidly approaching fire. All teachers and students escaped except one student who refused to leave. This student not only stayed inside, but demanded that he continue studying. He died later that day.
The road running across the old pic is Walker St. This is actually behind me in the new shot, the view in the old pic is now blocked by the law-courts building.(immediately behind where I am standing).
A little farther ahead, you can just make out Saul St running across (two people on the corner), and farther still, showing above the other buildings, can be seen the tower of the art-deco Co-op building (just about the only thing which remains today, apart from a couple of smaller buildings, which can't be seen properly).
The pillars on the left are part of the law-courts building.
California Raisins!
Back in the day when we were flat broke... didn't have money for "proper" costumes!
So... we got creative... and created "raisins" out of Hefty trash bags! Those were the days... making due with what you have!
THESE days someone would call Child Protective Services on me for the suffocation risk of this white-trash ghetto costume!
In retrospect, I should have tucked the yellow tie-handles in better around their sweet little faces... :op
I'm a few yards farther forward in the new pic. Walker St, running across the old pic, is directly below the camera in the new pic.
I wasn't able to get any farther back, the rear of the law-courts building being immediately behind me.
